Patient was educated on phosphate binders drugs as follows:

1. In patients with poor renal function and renal failure, too much phosphorus in the diet can lead to phosphate built up in the body, as the kidneys are not functioning good enough to eliminated the excess phosphorus.
2. Increased phosphorus in the blood can lead to reduced calcium absorption and weaken bones, resulting in pathological fractures.
3. So, a diet low in phosphorus is recommended for people with compromised renal function.
4. Despite strict compliance with the dietary limitations, controlling phosphorus in the diet is a difficult task, with phosphorus being a component of many food items.
5. So, drugs called phosphate binders are used to control the absorption of phosphorus, from the food in the GI tract into the blood.
6. Reduced phosphorus in the blood can lead to better calcium absorption from the GI tract, which can strengthen the bones, thus preventing development of pathological fractures.
